All of these look amazing. Well here is mine. What do you think...
I have that same reptisun 10.0 hood for my dragon, (the zoomed laboratories hood) and I was wondering, how did you mount it inside?

I used 3m Command hooks mount to the inside of the tank and mounted hooks to the light itself. I had to take the ends of the light off and drill holes to put the screws in then I put it all back together.
I have since removed the black clips and replaced with small zip-ties from the front brackets to the hook. I also had to put something on the opposite side of the cord to fill in the space to fit even and level. I hope that helps. I can take more pics if needed.

From the top, Scout (my silkback girl), then Audrey and Ninja, then Eeyore and Sydney. They Showcase Cages. The only issue I had is that after I got them all finished, I realized the UVB is too far away and I had to mount it inside with command hooks, and punch a little hole to feed the cord through.

So, I decided to get Carlos out of his 20L with his wire cage topper. Not only because I was finding way to many crickets in the house, but because Carlos is starting to get big... ... fast! I've heard a lot of discrepancy of the Exo Terra brand enclosures saying they do not allow enough room for a full sized bearded dragon. I wanted to keep in mind simplicity, beauty, elegance, and though of my next set up as a furniture decoration type of piece. I decided to give the Exo Terra enclosure a chance and if Carlos continues to outgrow it, I will presume a 75+ gallon.
The enclosure dimensions measure 36"x18"x18" (LxHxD). I found at a local hardware store 18"x18" stick on flour vinyl squares. The inside tank dimensions are not quite specified as what I thought and had to trim them a bit. I was going to try to mold with grout and "great stuf" but decided the simple look from the great out doors would benefit me enough. I went a bit overboard with the sandstones to make it look very desert like, however, my wife disagreeing took a lot of it out and reminded me, "simple is sometime better." I do agree with her and this is what we were left with in the end. I truly enjoy the looks of this terrarium and I believe Carlos loves it as well. If you all have any questions, feel free to reply or PM me. Thanks for looking! :D

His basking rock fluctuates between 98-102 degrees at the highest measured by an infrared laser temp gun from the proper distance from the rock. He spends most of his time either scaling the styro-foam wall or on his rock. :)

We have a 4 bulb Exo Terra hood made for the terrarium in our town now at the post office that will get here shipped tomorrow. I am very excited because it was the hood that is designed to go with this enclosure! :wink:

^^^There's a cricket on his head! :p



^^^This is night time. 9:00pm his 75watt night lights come on keeping it about 80 degrees in there. His daylights and basking light come on at 7:00am as the night lights shut off.




 
Everybody here has done such an amazing job with their vivs. Since I just made an account, I'd figure I'd go ahead and post a pic of George's current house. He's in a 20 long right now since he's just a baby, but I'm planning on upgrading in a few months hopefully :)



The glass is really smudgy, for some reason I can't get it entirely cleaned :? And the UTH on the right hand side isn't turned on.

Looks good, the only thing I suggest is ditching those thermometers and getting a digital with probe, or a temp gun.
The type you are using can be off by as much as 40~ degrees.

Don't worry, those are old, I just haven't removed them yet. I actually use a point and shoot digital thermometer to read the temps now, although I'm planning on getting a probe as well just to be 100% sure of accuracy :)

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
